Can extremism guarantee pluralism? [PDF]

, 2008
Many models have been proposed to explain opinion formation in groups of individuals; most of these models study opinion propagation as the interaction between nodes/agents in a social network. Opinion formation is a complex process and a realistic model

Degradation Mechanisms in PEM Water Electrolysis: Diagnosis and Impact

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review provides an analysis of degradation mechanisms in proton electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE), focusing on all key components. It discusses diagnostic and measurement techniques for evaluating degradation, less‐studied mechanisms, and an expert survey.

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

Conformity and Mass Media Influence in the Sznajd Model on Regular Lattices

Entropy
The polarization of opinions and difficulties in reaching a consensus are central problems of many modern societies. Understanding the dynamics governing those processes is, therefore, one of the main aims of sociophysics.

A State‐Adaptive Koopman Control Framework for Real‐Time Deformable Tool Manipulation in Robotic Environmental Swabbing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Application of the Three-Group Model to the 2024 US Elections

Entropy
Political polarization in Western democracies has accelerated in the last decade, with negative social consequences. Research across disciplines on antecedents, manifestations and societal impacts is hindered by social systems’ complexity: their constant

Hybrid Continuum Robot Designs and Architectures for Healthcare Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Hybrid continuum robots represent an emerging class of flexible manipulators that blend materials, structures, and actuation concepts from the established fields of soft and continuum robotics. This review introduces an accessible framework to distinguish key hybridization approaches, surveys current designs aimed at complex clinical applications, and ...

Construction of an Optimal Strategy: An Analytic Insight Through Path Integral Control Driven by a McKean–Vlasov Opinion Dynamics

Mathematics
In this paper, we have constructed a closed-form optimal strategy within a social network using stochastic McKean–Vlasov dynamics. Each agent independently minimizes their dynamic cost functional, driven by stochastic differential opinion dynamics. These
